Mum arrived 2-and-a-half months ago and has already settled in well. Management is very professional and Mum's safety and security is treated with very high importance. Staff (carers and activity) are excellent, incredibly caring and have really got to know Mum so she has settled quickly. Communication is great and I feel listened to as Mum's daughter/carer. Mum loves to be busy so the varied activities keep her occupied and independent. Feel so blessed to have found Doveridge as Mum says she 'loves being there'. Thank you x

I love how quickly Mum has settled here since arriving in April. She says she loves it here and I can see why. The staff are genuinely warm and caring and Mum has so much mental stimulation here. As a relative I have always been made to feel very welcome when I visit.

I have waited purposely for my review of Doveridge so I may give an honest and knowledgeable opinion. My mum has been a resident for approximately 10 months and I can honestly say I can't be happier to see how she has thrived. Her needs are met and surpassed by the wonderful staff who are given the freedom to spend time with each resident and really get to know them. The food is excellent with a choice for all requirements. As it's a small home it has a very homely feeling which so many lack and this reflects in the contentment of residents. There is plenty of entertainment on tap and trips out which are thoroughly enjoyed. I have to take my cap off to the management because as we know the home is only as good as those that run it and this home is wonderful.

Seeing my sister return to Doveridge Care Home has improved my confidence level in her recovery, hopefully she will return to her old self! As for all staff, we could not wish for better care. Thank you.

My mum lives at Doveridge and has dementia, it means the world to us that she is so well cared for when we couldn't keep her at home any longer. Doveridge has become family to us and mum is treated with so much love and respect. I would like to thank all the staff for their care, plus my dad has gone from living with mum and being married for over 60 years to being home alone. The staff appreciate this and he is there for lunches with mum and can go whenever he likes to be with her. We are always made to feel so welcome with a cup of tea or offer of food and drink every visit. Mum is content at Doveridge and although it's always hard to put a loved one in care when you find the right place it makes all the difference and the worry goes away. As a family we would always recommend Doveridge. They do a great job and it's a lovely place, with a family feel.

Mum's care is always excellent her dementia is progressing and her care plan has been adapted for this. The staff are so amazing with mum always there with a kind word and a hug. After I leave mum when visiting her I walk away knowing she couldn't be in a better place.

The staff have honestly been beyond wonderful. My dad came for a two-week stay and we think he really enjoyed his time here. He is not normally very sociable, but the time here brought him out of his shell, and seeing him enjoy the company of the staff and things like the singer and guitarist who came to perform was so lovely! His room was super and he hasn't eaten so much good food in ages. We can't thank everyone enough.

Mum has been at Doveridge for over four years and the care, compassion, love and friendship that she has received has been exceptional. We have always found the staff most welcoming and friendly. You always get a lovely cup of tea and cake or biscuits. Mum passed away in the care of Doveridge and I cannot fault the time and devotion shown to her at the end. Many thanks to all.

My Mother was a resident at Doveridge for a few weeks after being discharged from the hospital in January 2024. We found the care to be excellent and the staff very caring and helpful. It was a pity that she could not stay longer.

All the staff at Doveridge are very caring and supportive. Food is excellent and varied and plenty of different activities organised. We particularly appreciate the support given to help my father, who still lives at home, when visiting my mother in Doveridge. The care given, after Mum's recent fall, could not be faulted. Thank you for looking after Mum.
